There's that nice feeling when people actually build proper
teams. No, I am not advocating that every team comp needs to follow
the strict "bruiser top, caster mid, AD/support bot, jungler"
archtype, but having a nice well rounded team going into a game is
a nice thing.

What does this have to do with my title? I'm getting to
that.

In my boredom I decided to pop into a game. After watching a
team pick through everything but mid, I decided to go mid Morde.
Our team went like so:

First blog in a while. For those of you not familiar with the
way this blog works, a few things:

1) I am vulgar. (moderator's willing, I understand you have a
job to do)

2) I am rarely logical.

3) I am here to vent my frustrations.

If you get a kick/laugh out of any of these, feel free to read
on.

So the nautilus patch has landed, bringing with it a new jungler
(which I don't object to) as well as a flurry of nerfs/buffs. Now,
many of these are minor (Alistar's mana costs/Vlad's small nerfs)
so they haven't garnered too much outcry. However, it seems that
there just has to be one sect of people every patch who use
something in it as an excuse to get pissy. At this point in time, I
am of course talking about the people whining about the Sona…

As we all know, online gaming is known for some of the worst
person to person interactions in all of social interaciton, and
League is no exception. However, there comes a point where it seems
that some people decide to throw rationality aside while only
making themselves look like frothing idiots.

Case in point, lets look at the recent WCG fiasco (all
information is what I know, and may or may not be 100% accurate).
From what I can tell, at WCG last weekend (?), Dignitas and CDE
battled in the finals to secure a spot in the Korean tournament.
However, through some goings on (not entirely sure) there were
rumblings of a miscommunication, resulting in today's match, which
Dignitas won. Seems simple enough.

When I first started jungling, I spent a lot of time learning a
large assortment of heroes, as well as the ins and outs of
jungling. One of the first things that I learned was that a jungler
can only do so much. He's not there to win your lane for you, he's
there to give your team an edge in experience, to force enemies to
play defensively, to get kills on enemies who make mistakes. He can
not make up for you doing poorly in your lane. If there was one
thing that I took for law, it was that.

I like to jungle. I really do. I find it the most fun out of any
role in the game. When I sit down at night and do premades with
friends I am usually the guy who volunteers to jungle. However, one
person, a single, solitary, insignificant person, has ru…

I like new champions. I enjoy seeing a new addition to the game,
and I like the meta changes that some have brought with them.
However, as much as I enjoy seeing new champions and new abilities,
there are still some old champions that I love. I especially enjoy
pointing out that I leveled from 1 to 15 on nothing but Master
Yi.

Despite this, it is true that some older champions are falling
behind in terms of power. This can easily be seen with champions
like Tristana, Karthus, Rammus, or anyone that is outclassed by
others.* To attempt to solve this issue, Riot has taken the liberty
of reworking older champions to not only make them fresh and new,
but also to make them better at what they do. So far, this has
worked to great effect with Ryze…
